Rental Terms
Vehicle rentals with Leek are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Renting a Vehicle
- To rent a vehicle from Leek, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, with extra fees for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving license suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please also check the Rental Agreement for any further requirements.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon picking up the vehicle. All listed prices are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions handled securely through trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed to document the state of the vehicle. You are expected to return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees applied accordingly. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply for insufficient fuel. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please notify us promptly if you foresee a delay. You will also be liable for any parking tickets, traffic infractions, or other charges incurred during the rental, along with an applicable administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals include standard third-party insurance. Full coverage specifics and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial exposure. It is beneficial to review these options. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of any insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Your Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in other risky behaviors. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, using the vehicle for purposes it is not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries without authorization is not permitted.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Leek Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the amount you paid for the rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Applicable Law
